Having a grilling area is a fantastic addition to any condo or apartment complex, and it's easy to see why. Hosting cookouts brings residents together, creating a sense of community, and a well-maintained grill can even boost property value. That's why many building owners and managers opt for a commercial-grade grilling station.

If you're on the hunt for a new grill for your building, the all stainless steel PGS S48T could be the perfect fit. As our largest stainless steel grill, it's designed to handle anything from casual weeknight barbecues to elaborate, slow-cooked feasts.

The S48T is built to last, with a reliable gas shut-off timer that ensures safety and peace of mind. Forget about worrying whether someone forgot to turn off the gas – the timer automatically cuts off after 60 minutes.

S48T Stainless Steel T-Series Grill

When catering to large groups, you need a grill with ample cooking space and plenty of power. The S48T offers a generous 960 square inches of cooking surface, not including the optional warming rack. Its burners produce an impressive 90,000 BTUs, making it a top pick for apartment and condo dwellers who love to entertain. Whether you're grilling steaks, chicken, chops, burgers, or sausages, this grill can handle it all.

Curious about the temperature inside? The side-mounted heat indicator provides a clear view of what's happening inside, which is especially handy for slow cooking.

Push-to-Ignite Convenience

Managing a building means ensuring residents follow proper safety procedures. The S48T's battery-powered electronic ignition makes lighting the grill a breeze – just press a button to get started. No more fumbling with matches or struggling to figure out how to light the grill.

And unlike other grills, the S48T comes with instructions permanently etched into the control panel. These instructions are crystal clear and won't fade over time, eliminating the need for messy, easily misplaced notes.

Maintenance Made Easy

Even with diligent upkeep, some residents might not clean up after themselves. The PGS FlipGrate 304 stainless steel grate simplifies maintenance with a quick scrub after cooking while the grill is still warm. For deeper cleaning, the grids are removable and can be cleaned with soap or oven cleaner.

Many manufacturers claim their products are "commercial grade," but the PGS grills genuinely live up to that standard. We use 304 commercial grade stainless steel throughout, including the cooking grids, side shelves, pedestals, mounts, grill body, and fasteners.

Designed to withstand daily use by multiple families, the S48T is both sturdy and safe. It's a favorite among residents and a smart investment for any HOA or apartment manager. Features like anti-theft knobs ensure the grill remains ready for the next grilling session.

Gas Left On? Not with the S48T Timer!

One of the biggest headaches for property managers is residents forgetting to turn off the gas after grilling. This poses safety risks and wastes resources. The S48T's built-in PGS FuelStop® 60-minute timer automatically shuts off the gas after an hour of use. If you wish to continue cooking, simply reset the timer.

This timer is just one of the ways the S48T promotes environmental friendliness. The high-efficiency burner system heats up quickly and reduces gas consumption. Additionally, the grill's durable construction ensures it will last for years, reducing waste.

A Long-Term Investment

All our T-series grills, including the S48T, come with a full one-year parts replacement warranty, even for commercial use. We stand behind our products because we believe in their quality. Since 1958, when gas grills first hit the market, we've been leading the industry. You won't find a better selection of commercial-grade gas grills elsewhere.

Should you need replacement parts, we've got you covered. You don't have to worry about sourcing unreliable aftermarket parts; we maintain a vast inventory of OEM grill parts for easy ordering.

Propane vs Natural Gas

The S48T stainless steel commercial BBQ grill is available in both propane and natural gas models. Each has its own benefits, and the best choice depends on your building's setup and intended use.

The natural gas version connects directly to your building's natural gas supply. Depending on your current setup, you might need a professional to add an outdoor hookup. With natural gas, you'll never run out of fuel, nor will you need to stockpile propane tanks. During peak grilling seasons, you won't have to constantly check the tank levels. In some cases, removing the propane tank could even free up valuable storage space.

If your building lacks natural gas or you prefer not to install an outdoor hookup, propane is the way to go. Propane is ideal if the grill will be moved around frequently, such as between different areas of the patio. The tank is conveniently located beneath the grill, so wherever the grill goes, its fuel source follows. When winter arrives, you can easily roll the grill into storage.

In terms of fuel costs and environmental impact, both options are similar. Choose whichever is most convenient for you and your residents.

Grill Mounting Options

There are several ways to set up your S48T, and one will suit your building perfectly.

You can integrate it into an outdoor countertop. If you already have a countertop, just measure to ensure the S48T fits. Alternatively, you can customize the countertop to create a stunning focal point that enhances your property's value. A beautifully built-in grill becomes the heart of your patio or gathering area.

Another option is a grill island. If modifying your outdoor space for a built-in grill seems too costly or complicated, this could be the better choice. A prefabricated container specifically designed for the S48T offers ample storage and shelf space, making it both functional and visually appealing. Many building managers find this option more practical and adaptable to their grilling area.

If your grill needs to be portable, you'll require propane and a grill cart. This wheeled cart is specially designed for the S48T and provides storage and side shelves. It's a compact, self-contained unit that can be moved wherever you need it, including into storage during the off-season.
